Looking to connect with local Agilist in New York City?
You came to the right place – we are the longest running Agile group in town, and we have big plans for 2025!
NYC Scrum User Group was established in 2009 by Rob Purdie and then he was supported by Mary Pratt as a place where Scrum and Agile practitioners could gather monthly to learn from each other and from industry leaders, to share successes and failure, and to master their craft.
Over the years, our group developed a very distinct culture.
The best way to describe it? Think about a big family reunion at a fun science lab!
We strive to create a space where:
- Everyone is welcomed,
- Differences of opinions, frameworks, and practices are explored with curiosity
- Playfulness is embraced in a very serious and purposeful way.
- Experiments and half-baked ideas are invited as opportunities for creative collaboration,
In fact, we’ve run a ton of experiment as a group: “Scrum Back to Basics”, “This is how we do it”, World Retrospective Day, and so much more. We even had our own community-operated conference – Big Apple Scrum Day (2015 – 2020).
While the group is evolving and changing, what remains the same is our passion for bringing the community together IN PERSON for authentic collaboration, connections, and learning.
Join us to be a part of the new chapter!
We meet on the third Wednesday of every month for presentations, workshops, discussion and networking, all relating to Scrum specifically and Agile generally.
